What the work actually involves
You will spend most of your time writing prompts in Croatian that probe how a model handles sensitive subject matter — the kind of request that sits close to a policy line without obviously crossing it. The rest of the time you are on the other side of the task: reading prompts and multi-turn conversations against a structured guideline document, assigning a classification, and writing a short justification that another reviewer could audit. Expect the guidelines to be revised mid-project and expect to re-apply the new version to work you already thought was finished.
The Croatian requirement is not decorative. Much of the value comes from phrasings that only land in Croatian — regional idiom, Serbo-Croatian overlap, ekavian/ijekavian variation, euphemism drawn from local news and forum culture — because translated-from-English prompts tend to be exactly the ones a model already handles. Your English needs to be good enough to read policy documents precisely and write reasoning that non-Croatian-speaking reviewers can follow.
What the screen looks for
- Verifiable fluency, tested by asking you to reason about Croatian usage rather than just claim it.
- Whether you can follow a written rubric to the letter instead of substituting your own intuition about what is harmful.
- Judgment on dual-use material: can you write something genuinely adversarial for training purposes without producing operational harm, and can you articulate where that line sits.
- Written reasoning that is short, specific, and traceable to a guideline clause.
Logistics
Remote and asynchronous, roughly 7 hours per week, immediate start. Croatia or the wider Eastern Europe region is a stated preference, not a gate — applicants elsewhere are explicitly welcome, though timezone overlap for occasional calibration sessions helps. A bachelor's degree, completed or in progress, is required in any field. Observed pay for this listing is $38–42/hr; rates on Mercor vary by project and are not guaranteed.
